And _I_ never said he used replacement OEM pads. I was referring to the
ones he mentioned that came with the car.

No where did he say he installed OEM brake pads. From my recollection he
said he had his pads replaced.
I respect your ASE certification but I also owned a brake and front end
shop for 38 years. I have enough brake jobs to give me a clue as to what
is happening.
Just using common sense, if everything is the same (the hill) and the only
variable is different pads, it must have been the pads that are causing
the low mileage, not the hill, not his left foot.
